The Wonderful World Of Tim Burton | Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Immersing himself in a true period piece for the first time, Burton approached the story of the Headless Horseman as if it was a silent movie. "We tried to make the stage look as real as possible and the stuff on location as fake as possible so that it would intermingle and match." The headless horseman himself was an image Burton was keen to impress upon audiences: "We all look at people's eyes to categorise them. But here you've got this powerful, elegant character without a head. The Headless Horseman represents the subconscious. Ichabod is the conscious mind: thinking too much, bullshitting his way through everything, which is perfect, appropriate."
